EDITORS COMMENTS
This Matania advertisement illustration, dated circa 1939, presents a charming and elegant scene of two figures engaged in a leisurely conversation. The man, dressed impeccably in a suit and hat, sits comfortably in a chair, while the young lady, dressed in a chic, flowing gown, reclines in a relaxed manner in a nearby chair. Her posture is casual, yet her grace and beauty are undeniable. In the background, a serving girl stands attentively, her eyes fixed on the engaged pair. The detail in this illustration is truly remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the man's waistcoat to the delicate folds of the young lady's gown. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. The illustration, which was likely used for advertising purposes, evokes a sense of sophistication and luxury. The 1930s, also known as the Thirties, were a time of glamour and elegance, and this illustration perfectly captures the essence of the era. It is reminiscent of the annual buyers' guides that were popular during this time, showcasing the latest fashions and trends. The artist of this illustration is Fortunino Matania, a renowned Italian-born British painter and illustrator, known for his detailed and realistic works. This illustration is a testament to his skill and artistry, and it remains a beautiful and timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers today.
